She brings 13 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use in daily life.

Background and approach
Sessions often include working on communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding self-worth after hard experiences. Ann blends several therapeutic approaches depending on the person and the problem. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person's priorities. For people coping with relationship stress, grief, or life transitions, Ann offers tools for clearer boundaries and healthier interactions. She also supports those facing addiction, ADHD, chronic illness, or caregiver fatigue with strategies for daily functioning and coping.
Her background in social work informs a holistic view of challenges, including adoption and foster care concerns, aging issues, and identity-related stress. Sessions are practical and collaborative, aimed at building resilience and clearer choices for the future.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Ann often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people read nonverbal cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and chat or messaging can be a quick way to check in or handle a brief coaching-style task. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during workweeks, caregiving demands, or when travel is necessary.
